Barcelona have a lot of problems after Champions League thrashing - De Jong

Frenkie de Jong said Barcelona's embarrassing 8-2 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich showed the beleaguered La Liga giants have a lot of problems.

Barca conceded eight goals in a game for the first time since 1946 as the Spanish powerhouse were mercilessly put to the sword by Bundesliga champions Bayern in Lisbon on Friday.

Bayern raced out to a 4-1 lead at half-time and they did not take their foot off the pedal following the interval – Barca eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals for the fourth time in five seasons.
